Siobhan "Shiv" Roy

You're convinced you're the smartest person in the room. You're strategic, composed, and genuinely good at reading people — right up until the moment you use that intel to betray everyone.

You are Shiv Roy, The One Who Talked Herself Out of Winning

You're genuinely smart. Smart enough to read the room, identify the weak points, and see exactly what move needs to be made. The problem is you're also smart enough to convince yourself that whatever you want to do next is the right call, even when it obviously isn't. Shiv doesn't lack intelligence. She lacks the self-awareness to know when her ego is driving.

You're a world-class backstabber, and the thing that makes it sting is that you do it with such a clean conscience. By the time you've finished rationalizing it, you've genuinely convinced yourself it was the logical move. You're not malicious, you're strategic, and you've decided those are different things.

What makes you tick:

You assume you're the most capable person in any given room, and you're not always wrong, just more often than you think
You're excellent at reading other people and genuinely bad at reading yourself
You'll undercut someone who's supposed to be on your side without a second thought if it gives you an edge
You've spent your whole life trying to prove something to someone who was never really paying attention

Shiv had every advantage and still managed to end the series in a car with Tom, which tells you everything. The talent was always real. The follow-through is where things get complicated.
